NON-REFILLABLE BTTLE.

Application filed March 13, 1913. Serial No. 754,034.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, LEVI ROY Kissinenu, a citizen of the United States, residing at Buffalo, in the county of Erie and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Non-Refillable Bottles, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to non-reillable bottles and has for its primary object the provision of such structure as will eliminate any possibility of tampering with the valve structure by wires, hooks or other instruments.

A further object is to construct my device with such regard to proportion, arrangement and number of parts that it will not require special machinery for its manufacture and may be produced at a very reasonable cost.

rlhe above and additional objects are accomplished by such means as are illustrated in their preferred embodiment in the accompanying drawings, described in the following specification and then more particularly pointed out in the claims which are appended hereto and form a part of this application.

Referring now to the several views of the drawings throughout which similar reference numerals designate corresponding parts Figure l is a vertical section of a bottle equipped with my invention. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the plug. Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the plug.

Proceeding now to the description of the drawings, my invention consists primarily in the cylindrical plug indicated as an entirety by the numeral l. lThis plug may be made of glass or any suitable composition and in its Vmanufacture is preferably cast or molded in two semi-cylindrical sections 2 and 3. rlhe plug is provided at its upper end with the longitudinally extending centrally positioned bore 4, which serves as an outlet passage for the liquid contained in the bottle 5. rlhe plug is formed with a concave recess 6 at its lower end and is provided with a central opening affording communication between the concavity 6 and the valve chamber 7. This valve chamber is posed in communication with the communieating opening referred to above. rlhe valve chamber of each section of the plug is provided with an angularly extending downwardly projecting pocket 8. These pockets are V -shaped in cross section and when the substantially egg shaped with the apex displugs are in assembled position, the pockets of each are circumferentially alined. rl`hese pockets 8 are provided to prevent insertion of a wire or any other instrument through the opening 4 in the endeavor to unseat the ball valve 9. This ball valve 9 is normally seated in the annular recess provided at the base of the valve chamber 7. Each of the plugs carries within the chamber 7 an integral member l0. The members l0 are substantially cylindrical and are provided at their upper portion with the inwardly directed lip ll, forming the escape opening 12.

In operation, the inverting of the bottle during the pouring act will unseat the member 9 and permit the iiow of liquid through the chamber 7 and out through the passage 4. V'Vhen the bottle is restored to an upright position, the ball will fall back into the valve seat, thus preventing the projection of liquid into the bottle. lt will be seen that any attempt to fill the bottle by inverting it and introducing liquid through the opening 4 under pressure will be frustrated by reason of the fact that the liquid will force the ball valve away from the members 10 and up into the annular valve seat in the apex of the valve chamber. The plug l may be ground on its outer surface and twisted into the bottle neck or any other suitable means may be employed to prevent the withdrawal of the plug from the bottle.

Vhat is claimed is:

1. A bottle including a plug formed in two identical sections, each section having a longitudinal groove formed therein, said grooves being adapted for registration to provide a longitudinally extending opening, a valve seat formed of two identical sections, each section thereof being integral with one of each of said plug sections, said valve sections adapted for registration with each other, a ball valve to close said longitudinal opening, said valve seat having a guide casing formed thereover with an open ing in its upper end for retaining said ball valve in seated position upon said longitudinal opening when the bottle is tilted and eX- ternal pressure is applied through the neck to ll the same, and said ball valve being adapted to seat itself within said casing upon tilting the bottle when no external pressure is brought to bear through the neck thereof, for the purpose set forth.

2. An attachment for bottles including a drum like element insertible in the neck of a bottle, said drum like element having a close proximity to the valve' sea't'tlne wall valve chamber therein, the walls of said of said Chamber having an annular recess chamber having openings affording commutherein disposed above the valve seat and nication between the valve chamber and the the lower marginal edge of the guide for 5 interor and exerior o thel bottle, L valve the purpose specied.
